According to one researcher, The Mandalorian became the most popular TV series in the US soon after Disney Plus launched. Parrot Analytics uses a proprietary metric measuring online expressions of demand. It found The Mandalorian's popularity peaked (at least, so far) soon after the series' third episode, when the titular bounty hunter battled to free Baby Yoda from Werner Herzog and a compound of Stormtroopers.

... outside analysts have made their own appraisals. IMA Research estimated Apple TV Plus collected 1.1 million subscribers in its first week, compared with Disney Plus' 15 million. Wall Street researcher Cowen estimated Disney Plus membership ballooned to about 24 million subscribers by the end of November, roughly two weeks after launch, in the US alone.

In "Achtung, Panzer", Heinz Guderian used a traditional German idiom that became his signature line and that was translated into English in a variety of ways. In German, it's "Klotzen, nicht kleckern" and generally refers to banging at the door with a clenched fist (i.e., with conviction of purpose) rather than tapping it with a single finger/knuckle (timidly, with too much deference to whoever is inside that house/room). In this regard, Tim Cook is doing the opposite of a clenched fist. He's tapping at that mythical door, asking if he could, perhaps, come in. Bob Iger is kicking that door with his foot.
